Oh! My heart just jumped into my mouth when I saw the tread title. I hadn't heard that... Man... Levon Helm and Duck Dunn so close together. I'm going to have to bust out my Booker T, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett and Blues Brothers CDs. He was a great bassist, and a great person in other ways. I remember seeing a documentary about Rock and Roll where they were talking to him and Steve Cropper about what it was like to be white teenagers playing in the south with black musicians. They had to hide in the van and go to the back doors of restaurants to avoid being hassled (or WORSE) by whites. It took bravery, and it shows that music has the ability to unite people and overcome stupidity and ignorance.
